Error 111 is `Connection refused'.  You have to tell your X server to allow 
your Debian machine to connect to it. If you have no concerns about security
(with respect to other people getting access to your X server) you can
run `xhost +' on it, which will allow any client to have access to it.

If you have security concerns, transport the .Xauthority file from the Mac
to the Debian machine and run `xauth merge <Mac_Xauthority>'.
